The game hasn't leaked, it's likely someone just dumped the pre-download using homebrew tools, and this will happen with every game that has a pre-download. Not that I condone piracy, I'm just pointing out that dump the image of a pre-download is something anyone can do. I can't seem to verify on twitter if this version has already a day1 patch or not thou, which would be a welcome relief. But I guess day 1 is in two days anyway so we'll see if they solved the frames issue.
@nessisonett at this point my guess is that they are internally all working on an original lineup for the launch of a slighlty more powerful switch pro.
I'm not keeping track of all the dev studios but my understanding was that having only the switch to develop for, Nintendo had aaaaaaall the teams from 3ds and wiiu on one platform, and if that's the case, something seems off to me.
I'm betting on a reveal on january and a launch on march.
It would also explain the TBD delays of 3rd party titles such as Doom eternal and others
@diablo2 it could totally be, like many articles are speculating, that the switch is becoming a service and every new hardware revision is like a new smartphone in the ecosystem with the whole back catalog compatible. i'm up for that.
@BrintaPap Innolux and Sharp have recently partnered to mass-produce some of their products. It could mean that this is a miniLED but also an IGZO panel, like it was mentioned by a Sharp spokesman last year. This could translate in never seen before efficiency in a portable console, but I'm afraid these panels would cost a f* lot.
So I get to keep everything I buy from the eshop from now on and it will always be compatible? I'm on board but I suspect some inside nintendo are not.
Well sh*t. When Aonuma tells you that you have to wait a bit longer to receive an UPDATE, it instantly means late 2021/2022 just to see another trailer. It's ok, don't rush it for god's sake. I'm still on the "Switch pro revision" launch title bet.
@YANDMAN we had different expectation. maybe it's the leaks fault but i expected something like Wind Waker and Twilight princess on WiiU. i would replay from start to finish a 60 bucks mario 64 game in a new engine. 10 minutes on a 4:3 port it's not worth 20 bucks. In my opnion. ocerina on 3ds? bought it, i saw value there. Majora's? same. Link's Awakening? same if not better.
@Chlocean @TedThread i just realised writing the response that zelda has now more actual well made full fldged 3D remasters than Mario does. Excuse me? when did that happen? a franchise that has historically sold less than mario receiving more dev care?
@Chlocean @TedThread i'm sorry for being an *****, but man i literally grew up with the 3Ds, and i was waiting this with anticipation. maybe i have to blame the leaks for the hype, but leaks or not i simply don't see enough value to spend 60 bucks. like i haven't supported nintendo and their never discounted first party IPs enough in 30 years. and i also understand that the 35th is not as strong as the 25th, but man this package just gives me the impression "Oh, right, this year there's an anniversary...right. well, here, take this 3D games! happy?". i mean was i completely out of proportion to expect something along the lines of Wind waker remaster, Twilight Princess remaster and link's awakening but applied to mario? "but it would've cost way more!" yeah that's my point! like nintendo wouldn't made a profit on a package like that...i'm sorry for being annoying but this package to me sounds very much like they're deciding what to do with the rest of their retro library based on how well this will sell.
@YANDMAN the only things nintendo actually prepared for the 35th are the Tetris 99 mod and the 3D ports, which apparently don't include Galaxy 2 (which would've meant you had 4 games in a bundle of 60 bucks and not three). Honestly I expected mario 64 to be redone with odissey's engine, but I understand that was just my fantasy after seeing the good job they did on link's awakening. Than apparently a random guy on the planet found a way to implement 16:9 in the PC port of mario 64 and nintendo couldn't (or they could, but it would've taken more time and money, and that's my problem with their attitude). Then sunshine and galaxy apparently are both wide-screen and run at full resolution, and that's actually fine, but you would agree it's the bare minimum. Dunno I at least expected a limited edition version with a CD audio, but I guess it costs less to implement they player inside the game for everyone. From what I can tell the rest of the announcements would've come out anyway, 35th or not. A bit lacking from what I was expecting. No further imbellishments, no phisycal goodies in the boxed version, at least that I know of.
@YANDMAN it sounds childish ain't it? i know, but nintendo isn't putting any effort in making this an actual celebration of an anniversary. it's just easy money for them.
The time limit really pissed me because it clearly serves to artificially pump up demand. They clearly haven't put any effort in this anniversary. I owe 60 bucks to the guy who's done the PC porting.
If this doesn't have a "35TH" on it, you all know what this means right? it means the only things nintendo prepared for the actual anniversary are the 3d portings and the modded tetris 99.
Th game & watch was likely to come out anyway as the next "classic mini".
Very pissed right now.
***** them i'm pissed. You know what limited time means? it means they WNAT YOU to rush preordering it to sell it like crazy. i expected at least 64 remade in odissey's enginge. 60 buck for 3 emulated games that i already own? might as well put in galaxy 2. very unhappy with this collection.
The thing about smash is that the competitive community only plays 1v1 or 2v2 with one stage layout and items turned off, and to this rollback could apply nicely, but smash is conceived to be for everyone, with items and stages that level the playing field. I can't see rollback functioning in a massive animated stage with two assistant trophies, swords, guns, a 4 players. It's sad, but we have to come to terms with the fact that smash is less like street fighter and more like mario kart (despite it still having a better online, but it serves to make a point).
@Rob3008 Nintendo is clearly playing the same game of Microsoft and Sony, they are keeping the surprise announcement to compete for the holidays. And it makes sense, the launch line up for both PS5 and XBOX it's kinda weak. That is unless insomniac succeeds in delivering both Spiderman and Ratchet at launch.
@Dang69 so let me get this straight: Nintendo gives space to their third parties granting them a huge audience of potential customers and the problem is you weren't interested in any of the games listed? Is it a problem of Nintendo, of third parties, or yours?
Of course distributing a dumped GC game is illegal, but I'm glad I dumped wind waker because my disc stopped working at some point. Memory card too.
I can do whatever I want with the games I own. Of course I can't distribute them.
